Scarlett Johansson opened up about last year's nude photo hacking scandal and her divorce from ex-husband Ryan Reynolds in a new interview. After all she's been though, she says she refuses to be a "victim."
Scarlett Johansson, otherwise known by her much-disliked nickname "ScarJo," told Vogue magazine that the nude photos she had taken and sent to then-husband Ryan Reynolds were leaked, and that the experience had her "paranoid," even victimized.
"When all those photos came out, of course I go out to dinner and think … these people have all seen my…" she trailed off, not fully acknowledging the painful memory. "That's terrible. You know what I mean? You can't not think that. Even if they haven't you're paranoid."
Making matters worse was that the photos- as private as they were- were for someone whom she was no longer with. The 2011 scandal took place nearly a year after the two first filed for divorce in December of 2010.
Johansson immediately alerted authorities and her legal team moved swiftly, threatening to sue sites that posted the pictures online.
“Scarlett Johansson is a profile of courage,” said longtime publicist and ABC News consultant Howard Bragman. “She went and she made sure that this man was convicted this heinous crime and that he won’t do it to anyone else, and I think it is a great example to celebrities and anyone.”
The leak came at an inopportune moment for Johansson, just months after her public divorce from Ryan Reynolds, a split that she tells Vogue was “comically amicable,” but still “devastating.”
“It was horrible. Of course it’s horrible,” she said in the Vogue interview. “It really throws you. You think that your life is going to be one way, and then, for various reasons or whatever, it doesn’t work out.
“And there’s no way to navigate it. Nobody can give you the right answer. It’s never anything you want to hear. It’s a very lonely thing. It’s like the loneliest thing you’ll ever do, in some way,” she said.
But now, Johansson has a new man on her arm, advertising director Nate Naylor, and the blockbuster movie, “The Avengers,” about to debut, and says she has finally found a “relative peace.”
“From that comes a lot of really amazing things,” she told Vogue. “I think it will be an interesting year.”
